My first tournament

Round One starts September 24, 2009. This is my first ever tournament. As many of you know, I've only been playing tennis for about seven months. However, since I have been unemployed for two-thirds of that period, I've been able to really dedicate myself to tennis. I think I'm a 3.5 player. Does anyone have any advice going into a first tournament?

Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?

Playing with confidence is a lot easier in theory than in practice Hopefully you learned something for next time.

I did. my friend was watching me play and suggested i hit to his backhand because he didnt really have a topspin shot on that wing. i won't take anything from the guy though cause he did have a really nice return of serve. if i didn't place my second serve well, he was able to knock the ball to the open court with pace quite easily.

i lost in straights i don't think i hit one forehand with confidence. still i'm happy i now have my first tournament behind me.

Oh what a shame
Oh well, hopefully you had a good time and enjoyed it.
better luck next time,
